Healing Starts Here

Empowering individuals to find balance, confidence, and healing. Book a free consultation today.

Hi there, and welcome!

I’m Dr. Alicia Hawley-Bernardez, PhD, LMSW, a compassionate therapist licensed in Texas (under the supervision of Dr. Jennifer Vasquez, LCSW-S). With a background in trauma-informed care, advocacy, and teaching, I’m here to provide a safe, supportive space where you can share what’s on your mind, work through challenges, and take steps toward the life you deserve.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, identity struggles, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach is empowering, client-centered, and rooted in the belief that healing and growth are possible for everyone.

If you have questions about how therapy works or whether I’d be a good fit for you, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’d love to hear from you and help you take the next step toward the life you’re looking for.
